Electronic Referral across South Eastern Sydney Local Health District (SESLHD)
South Eastern Sydney Local Health District (SESLHD) has expanded Electronic Referrals (eReferrals) across all major outpatient services, with the exception of Cancer services. There are now 140 services listed within Healthlink.
eReferrals are now the preferred referral pathway for accessing outpatient services across the district, as part of SESLHD’s commitment to improving efficiency, safety, and patient care

Important Update – Antenatal Referral Pathway Change
SESLHD’s latest eReferral implementation introduces a notable change to Antenatal referral pathways across SESLHD.
A GP referral is now required for patients to access Antenatal care with required supportive information outlined on the Antenatal eForm.
Patients will no longer be able to self‑refer to Antenatal services.
Flexibility will be applied in specific circumstances, particularly around gestation or clinical considerations, where timely access to care is required.
Preferred Referral Method – Healthlink
As part of SESLHD’s commitment to improving the safety, efficiency, and timeliness of managing patient referrals:
All practitioners with Healthlink access are strongly encouraged to submit referrals electronically via the Healthlink platform when referring to Outpatient services across SESLHD.
SESLHD is progressively moving away from paper‑based referral pathways, including fax and email.
